DRAFT 466 <br /> 332 <br /> 333 Michael Birch: That's correct. <br /> 334 <br /> 335 Melissa Poole: Ok, so if you're looking at manufacturing and possibly laboratory and research are you looking at that <br /> 336 they would have the ability to operate multiple shifts? <br /> 337 <br /> 338 Michael Birch: Yes, potentially a building user could have multiple shifts that is correct? <br /> 339 <br /> 340 Melissa Poole: So, back to, I want to jump back to just to a moment to David, when he talking about particularly the <br /> 341 residents most closely situated towards the lines, I mean I guess my question is how can you guarantee this will not <br /> 342 disrupt their life if you are running multiple shifts. That's 24 hours, could be 7 days a week 24 hours and you don't <br /> 343 know what kind of businesses are going in there. <br /> 344 <br /> 345 Michael Birch: Right but they are indoor activity in these buildings. In terms of like the primary use is inside, again <br /> 346 building setbacks, vegetative buffers around the perimeter, and I mentioned earlier, those distances between just our <br /> 347 property line in some of the closer structure to our west from the larger parcel over 1100 feet. To our south from that <br /> 348 larger parcel over 800/900 feet so I think we are well buffered on the subject property but also a lot of the lots that <br /> 349 surround us are deep lots with the houses situated far from the common boundary line. <br /> 350 <br /> 351 David Blankfard: Can you have the traffic engineer explain what is going on at Davis Drive and Old 86. Specifically, <br /> 352 what the current traffic is and then when this is functioning what happens what will the new traffic pattern be. <br /> 353 <br /> 354 Matt Peach: Thank you, appreciate the question. Obviously, we recommended a traffic signal there at that location <br /> 355 and I believe was touched on previously in the presentation but what we were concerned with at the intersection of <br /> 356 Davis Road and Old NC 86, quite frankly, is sight distance. What our concern was traffic coming along Davis Road <br /> 357 coming to a stop and being able to see in both direction down Old NC 86 for a sufficient distance to allow them to <br /> 358 turn safely onto Old NC 86 to make sure there is a sufficient gap in traffic. We didn't feel that it was there in terms of <br /> 359 site distance so we had recommended a traffic signal to that end in addition to helping facilitate movement to and <br /> 360 from the site. In terms of traffic today, we had full traffic counts. Currently on Davis Road at Old NC 86 there's about <br /> 361 170 cars along Davis Road in the morning peak hour. In the evening peak hour there is roughly 91 cars coming <br /> 362 along Davis trying to turn onto Old NC 86. On Old NC 86 there's a 300 northbound cars approximately in the <br /> 363 morning and this is consistent with the evening rush hour southbound is similar about 300 in the morning and <br /> 364 evening rush hour. <br /> 365 <br /> 366 David Blankfard: That's current? <br /> 367 <br /> 368 Matt Peach: That's correct. <br /> 369 <br /> 370 Hunter Spitzer: I have a question for the County staff; does the Town's sewer line currently follow along Cate's <br /> 371 Creek? Both sewer and water connections? <br /> 372 <br /> 373 Craig Benedict: I can answer that, yes the sewer line is known as the Cate's Creek outfall and it would roughly follow <br /> 374 those elevation changes flowing to the north. The water doesn't have to follow the topography and it would be along <br /> 375 the service road and there is an existing 16 inch water main on Old 86 now at Davis Road all the way into <br /> 376 Hillsborough and there is actually an emergency interconnect all the way down Old 86 to the Orange Water and <br /> 377 Sewer Authority facility. The Old 86 line is in operation with the Town of Hillsborough now and it would be those two <br /> 378 areas, Old 86, service road and then some sort of loop through the project would be likely with the final engineering. <br /> 379 <br /> 380 Hunter Spitzer: I was thinking less about water and sewer and more along the lines of co-locating some sort of <br /> 381 pedestrian trail but then I remembered that you have to build a bridge over 1-40, which would probably border on <br /> 382 impossible. Maybe that should be a development .... If they are planning on redoing 40 in this area anyway which 1 <br /> 383 think is the case. Ah, maybe we should see if the developer will build us a bridge,what do you say guys? <br /> 384 <br /> 385 David Blankfard: I still have a question for the traffic, what is going to be when it's build out what are the numbers <br /> 386 going to be? <br /> 387 <br />
